"I want us all to think about new and creative ways to engage young people in science and engineering, whether it's science festivals, robotics competitions, fairs that encourage young people to create and build and invent -- to be makers of things, not just consumers of things."

-President Barack Obama, April 27, 2009, address to the National Acadamy of Sciences Annual Meeting.
